DIY taco night versus a caterer
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. The usual problems are cold tortillas, running out of a popular filling and a host stuck at the stove. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the serving.
How it works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our area. By late September, sunset in Cutteslowe comes at roughly 7:10pm, so margaritas after that will be served under lights. In late May, it stays light until about 9:00pm.

What else we do in Cutteslowe
Cutteslowe: your questions answered
We are having a ceremony at Roman Catholic Church of St Gregory and St Augustine: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall with access for the truck or trailer. Service would be at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Could you serve in Oxford University Parks?
Only with permission from whoever runs the park, often the council. Ask them first, and we will help with the information they need from us.
Do you need power and water?
Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we will park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
Can you do dairy-free food?
Yes, we can. Tell us how many guests need dairy-free food, and we’ll plan the menu around them.
Who handles the licensing?
It depends on the venue. Some venues have a premises licence; others need a Temporary Event Notice. We talk it through with you.
Do you follow the rules on serving alcohol?
Our bar staff serve responsibly: alcohol-free drinks for under-18s, with water and alcohol-free choices on hand.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, they’re part of the planning from the start. Let us know how many vegetarian and vegan guests to expect, and we’ll keep their options separate.
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we offer a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Your venue or event may need the right licence for alcohol, so we’ll go through the licensing with you.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: vehicle access, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Planning the bar
A few tips to help the bar run smoothly:
- Agree bar timings in advance
- Collect allergy details in advance
- Make sure drivers have good choices
- Add food if the bar runs for a while
We can give allergen information for every drink, so guests can check before ordering.
Aguas frescas for children and non-drinkers.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a space will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A flat, firm spot for the bar
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Power and water arrangements, confirmed with each booking
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
